Would someone tell me why exactly is it that at the ranks, the chinese part of the name, such as the general's chinese translation, all have the term "air force" in it?

"空军上将" translates into "airforce general" 空军 = air force.

Somebody please change that.--24.85.147.171 00:38, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't speak Chinese, so I really don't know

Contents 1 Yi Ji Shang Jiang no longer exists 2 The fourth column 3 Brigadier ranks 4 Da Wei (Senior Lt) rank missing? 5 Eh? Theres seems to be a grade two soldier section missing? 6 Field Marshall rank?

[edit] Yi Ji Shang Jiang no longer exists

If you can read Chinese, refer to here: http://www.china.cn/chinese/zhuanti/xian/451453.htm. It reveals the rank Yi Ji Shang Jiang no longer exists since 1994 and some other incorrections of this article. I've corrected some of them, but someone reverted it back. What's wrong?

[edit] The fourth column

What does the fourth column indicate?--Nixer 06:31, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't get it as well... --DmitryKo 06:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brigadier ranks

I can't seem to understand why Chinese Brigadier is not ranked similarily to Brigadier General. It looks like the four-star Chinese General doesn't even seem to be used now and so it would be a direct equivalent to a largely honorary (at a peace time) General of the Army. Why line-up at the top ranks - is it justified by operational structure of the People's Liberation Army? I mean, does Chinese two-star General really perform the duties typical to a Division-level commander like the US Major General, for example? --DmitryKo 06:35, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Da Wei (Senior Lt) rank missing?

Doesn't this rank exist in the PLA? It seems to be missing.

[edit] Eh? Theres seems to be a grade two soldier section missing?

Isn't there one called a second grade soldier? correct me if there isn't Necrowarrio0

[edit] Field Marshall rank?

Does the PLA have a rank equivalent to Field Marshal?--Yuje 01:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I have the same question. zh:中华人民共和国元帅 talks about the 10 field marshalls appointed at the founding of the people's republic of china. are they not counted as ranks? --Sumple (Talk) 06:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
